Mud volcanism is a geological phenomenon that is widespread on the Earth. The most ancient Early Paleozoic mud volcanoes are known from Decaturville, Missouri, in North America (Zimmermann and Amstutz, 1972). In the Black Sea, Cretaceous mud volcanoes are known in the near-mountain area of the northwestern Caucasus. Numerous traces of mud volcanism are present in Chokrakian, Sarmatian, and Kimmcrian deposits of the Kerch-Taman region. The activity of mud volcanoes in Kimmerian time led to the formation of the Azov-Black Sea iron ore province and, connected to this, compensated or compressed geosynclinals.engeological phenomenondegassingsalse brecciaArticle
